Going to www.Camp.IN.Gov allows customers to select preferred amenities and use an easy-to-read availability calendar and interactive campground maps. Eventually, photographs of campsites will be added.
Making the improvements required a system interruption that started Feb. 8. All of the inventory that would have been listed as open during that period is available now on the site. Labor Day camping inventory will become available via the call center and website at noon on Wednesday, March 2.
The State Park Inns/Lodges, whose www.indianainns.com was not affected by the shutdown, is also available for reservations for rooms and cabins via that website or by calling 1-877-LODGES1 (1-877-563-4371).
Annual entrance passes for state parks can be purchased in person at the gatehouse or offices of state park and reservoir properties during business hours, at the Indiana Government Center South in Indianapolis, or at innsgifts.com. Indiana resident passes are $36 or $18 for individuals 65 years old or older. Annual passes for vehicles with out-of-state license plates are $46. Normal daily gate fees for residents at most properties are $5 per vehicle. For more information on Indiana State Parks and Reservoirs, see stateparks.IN.gov.
I’m from Indiana/Michigan and my kids have grown up in Colorado all their lives. I never considered Indiana for camping, but I suppose I should reconsider. We could visit my parents and still have time away that is rewarding. My Kids want to travel further than in the past and we usually fly to Indiana so this will be a challenge. What makes it easier for me is that I can put on TV for them through my iPhone connected to the TV’s in the van. My DISH Network employee DVR and Sling box deliver live TV or recordings through the internet and the app on my iPhone allows me (or my kids) to watch. I’m talking it’s a life saver.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good idea. We happen to have a Rear Seat Entertainment System in our Trailblazer EXT. That works well for the long drives, so I know what you're talking about. (We do have a rule of no electronics once we're at the campsite, though.) As for camping in Indiana, I bet you'll find the trip all the more enjoyable. We've stayed at Pokagon several times and always enjoyed ourselves.
